Madera Community Hospital

Madera Community Hospital was a not-for-profit community health resource and is not associated with any other hospital or health system. The hospital is locally governed by a board of trustees which provides governance and oversight. The board is composed of over a dozen community and business leaders. Madera Community Hospital was founded in 1971 and is located at 1250 E. Almond Avenue in Madera, California. The hospital contains 106 acute care beds, a 16-bed Emergency Department and a 10-bed Intensive Care Unit. Madera Community Hospital also operates two rural health care clinics and a home health agency.

Madera Community Hospital is fully accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act, 1988 (CLIA) program, and is a member of the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California and the California Healthcare Association.

The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed San Joaquin Valley hospitals. Already financially stressed, increasing costs for medical equipment and salaries for traveling nurses to address the surges were too much for the hospital to absorb. On January 3, 2023, Madera Community Hospital shuttered and filed for bankruptcy.
